Resolved Bilingual site with Easy Profile registration

Hello,

We have purchased your EP component just yesterday and everythinh seems clear except multilingual support. We understand multilingual suport is integrated with joomla multilingual system and that is clear as it was explained in another forum post. We can translate field labels via overrides for english and spanish, however it´s not clear how do you translate field content.

For example HTML field had some text inside ( instructions how to fill fields), so lables are translated but the field content remains in english and we see no way to translate content of HTML field. Other example would be person title ( Mr. Ms. or Mrs.) this is the content of that field and we can not translate it into spanish. I think there is missing one option for joomla core translation sistem in your EP component which is "choose language". With choose language it would be possible to assign english version for english and similar field assign to spanish language. If there is any way around please let us know.

Thank you,
Arturo

Hi,
to translate HTML delimiter you can use language constant (see screenshots)

value permitted for constants are

<p>ERSTAND_AND_AGREE_TO_THE_WEBSITE_TERMS_OF_USE</p>

or

ERSTAND_AND_AGREE_TO_THE_WEBSITE_TERMS_OF_USE

we have added workaround with P tag because HTML editor automatically add this.

______________________

To translate Option of some field same way of field titles

Example: option for gender field

male|MALE

female|FEMALE

constant are MALE and FEMALE

Example: option for title field

mr|MR_CONSTANT

ms|MS_CONSTANT

mrs|MRS_CONSTANT

constant are MR_CONSTANT, MS_CONSTANT and MRS_CONSTANT

______________________

With choose language it would be possible to assign english version for english and similar field assign to spanish language. If there is any way around please let us know.

This is not possible because for example Gender field is for all Users, you can't have English gender or Italian gender, this ruins the concept of profiling.

______________________

TIP FOR CONSTANTS
Joomla language override is uncomfortable, there is a fast way. All overrides are stored a simple .ini file into folder /language/override/, in this folder you can create/edit language constants with a simple Text editor:
- /language/override/en-GB.override.ini
- /language/override/fr-FR.override.ini
- /language/override/your-LANG.override.ini

Hi,

tag and without using codemirror text editor but it does not work.

Can you provide me your site details to check this? you can use the form below the reply in "Site Details" tab

How do you translate -- Please select an option-- sentence which is added automaticaly when using fields with options? Placing constant in default value field and translate it does not work either.

This is a string component, to translate component read here: https://www.easy-profile.com/support/translate-search-module.html#reply-11026
Alternatives:
1) Create override only for this string, the constant is COM_JSN_NOSELECTION
2) Fill "placeholder" parameter in select field options to customize this string with your constant

It´s a pain doing it this way though

I know but this is Joomla language manager.

Have you ever considered using falang for this?

This is not simple because we use JSON format to store options in DB. Anyway we will try to look this feature for future.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. It´s a pain doing it this way though. We could translate options for some fields, however html delimiter does not work. We tried with <p></p> tag and without using codemirror text editor but it does not work.
